Mike Evans’ agent comments on possible Broncos fit

The Denver Broncos are looking to add playmakers to the offensive side of the ball, to give quarterback Bo Nix even more weapons in his arsenal going into his third season under center.

One of the biggest potential prizes in this year's free agency pool is Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans. Evans is a six-time Pro Bowl selection and a two-time AP second-team All-Pro with eleven 1,000 receiving yard seasons. He's been extremely durable during his 12-year career, and he has a Super Bowl ring. He's the kind of veteran wide receiver that would make sense for contenders.

As Evans prepares to hit the open market for the first time in his career, he has four parameters that have to be met in order to sign with a team: A quarterback he believes in, a top-shelf offensive coordinator, a chance at a Super Bowl and the promise of high-value volume.

According to Evans' agent Deryk Gilmore, the Broncos fit the majority of his criteria, with one exception: the promise of targets. "They’d have to want to get rid of Courtland Sutton," Gilmore told the Denver Post's Luca Evans. "I don’t think they’re going to do that. So I don’t think (Evans) ends up there.”

Sutton received exactly 20 more targets than Denver's next closest receiver last fall, and he is one of Nix's favorite and most reliable targets. Sutton also signed a four-year deal prior to the 2025 season, keeping him in Denver until 2029. It's difficult to imagine the Broncos breaking ties with Sutton after investing so much in him.

It also looks like Evans may try to re-sign with Tampa Bay. Evans' agents were at the NFL combine with Buccaneers officials, "aggressively pursu(ing)" a reunion, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine. With Evans likely out of the picture for Denver, the Broncos will look to upgrade their receiver and running back rooms elsewhere.
